The Nazis took him to Auschwitz, where he was killed. From then on, the Zarfati family -- their mother and four children -- was on the run, living and hiding in the streets.

"They'd be in sewers, caverns, in cellars, and basements," said Marco Zarfati, Renato's son.

"That's why we're alive," said Renato Zarfati.

Fast forward 69 years -- Renato is now a retired singer and businessman who is living in Aventura in the age of technology.

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum started a project called "Remember Me," where the organization posted hundreds of pictures of children displaced during the Holocaust online. The images made their way around the world, and a family member recognized two faces.

"I take it. I see it's true. This is me," said Renato Zarfati.

There was a picture of Renato, and another one of his older sister as children. The two photographs are all that's left of their painful childhood.

"It was the first time I ever saw a picture of my dad at a young age," said Marco.

The images have reunited them with family members from Italy, and they have also acted as reminders of how much the children overcame.

"I defeated Hitler. I'm Jewish, I'm alive," said Renato Zarfati.

On December 9th, South Floridians can learn more about the "Remember Me" project when the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum visits Boca Raton. The day-long festivities will offer interactive workshops and film screenings rarely shown outside of the museum’s walls.
